Butterflies are among the most beautiful of insect species displaying bright and patterned wings while providing essential pollination for the healthy growth of plants and vegetation. To create attractive and functional butterfly gardens requires planting the correct types of flowers that provide food and shelter for the insects. The following takes a closer look at the options available and steps that need to be taken to facilitate healthy and balanced results.
The plan for your garden will depend on whether you wish to attract a few insects to the area or whether you wish to develop a complete habitat for different butterflies from caterpillars to its stage of metamorphoses. The first step is to determine the layout of your flower beds and to take the level of maintenance into consideration to ensure that sufficient growth and shelter are provided all year round. Choosing the right flow species is imperative to ensure that optimum growth is facilitated and food made available for all insects.
Take the time to determine the ideal site that should support the garden including the provision of sunlight to facilitate strong plant growth. The correct shrubs and hedging can be planted to ensure that the delicate insects are offered suitable protection from harsh wind and rain. The choice of vegetation should provide food for butterflies and caterpillars for the support of life cycles.
All flowers must be rich in nectar and attract different butterfly species to that garden. These flowers can be bought from a nursery and are often labeled as providing nectar as a source of food. Careful consideration should be made for the plants that will sustain the life cycle of caterpillars and ensure that the entire colony is sustained over a long period of time.
The careful selection of flowers and vegetation must be taken into consideration to ensure that all insects are sustained. The correct plant choices will provide support for butterflies when it comes to laying eggs on leaves and the provision of a self sustaining habitat. One can take the time to visit a nursery to determine the types of plants most suitable for such requirements.
The location of the garden is important and requires sufficient space and soil conditions to facilitate healthy plant growth. A variety of plants should be selected and the landscape designed to offer sun, shelter, and access to water during dry summer periods. Consider the correct placement of trees and shrubs that will provide maximum protection against harsh winds and rains.
Sunlight is imperative for butterflies as it sustains healthy plant growth. It also allows the insect to warm up on a flat rock or leaf because they are cold blooded. These steps can aid in achieving the desired results with a natural habitat filled with beautiful butterflies.
Planning ahead is important to ensure that the correct location and plant species are selected. Consulting with staff at a nursery can aid in making the best possible choices. Once you have combined the necessary food and shelter, you will develop an attractive habitat to sustain the growth of butterflies.
